    She's WAY too cold! The cool side should be no less than 75*, the warm side should be up to a max of 89*-90*- with a good portion of the middle of her home being about 85*.

    She needs a bowl of fresh water at all times- doesn't have to be large, but she also needs humidity of about 55% when not in shed, & up to 70-75% when IN shed. She needs a minimum of 2 equal hides, one on the cool side & one on the warm side, so that she's never forced to choose between a sense of security & the right temperature for digestion- because with only one hide, most snakes will choose to hide, even at the wrong temperature.

    PLEASE fix her temperatures as soon as possible- and also for safety, all heat sources must be regulated- preferably by a thermostat. Humidity can either be raised by using a substrate that holds moisture well, OR by furnishing a "humid hide". Please ask if you don't understand anything I've said here, or have further questions. Don't bother offering food until she's warm enough to digest it.
